For a disclaimer let me voice my foot history: I have had flat feet up until my mid teens when I had corrective surgery doneThat said my foot pain isn't as bad as it was but I still find I need a lot of cushion and support for my 12 hour nursing shifts.These needs lead me to try the gaviota. I will admit the first shift wearing these was excrutiating my arch was killing me and I was worried I'd spent the money for no reason. Day two was more bearable and day three now I have little to no pain wearing them and my feet don't hurt as bad after my long shifts thanks to their cushion and support. I do find the toe a bit too roomy but not a detriment. I usually wear a 9 but I think an 8.5 would be too tight.For those that are having feet pain trying undoing the very ...

I found a lot of my pain was from the lace cutting into my ankle and the shoe not being able to flex with my ankle. Tying it on the second has been much more comfortable for me. Now if only hoka would make some styles with a black base color. Hint hint.

I've been suffering from a ligament tendon problem in my foot for a long time now, been wearing an aircast boot because I'm not able to wear any of my shoes. A couple of weeks ago I had another treatment on my foot which I'm required to still wear the boot but lately the boot isn't working for me anymore. I've been in some discomfort and limited on activities. Since I can't wear any of my current footwear I tried to get new sneakers, clogs, slippers, etc but to no avail, nothing provides relief. So in my extensive research on footwear I came across this specific sneak and its technology and long behold this is it! I ordered them, tried them and FINALLY I found something that doesn't cause any discomfort on my foot. Not only that, it provides perfect stability and ...

Although it's a bit pricey it's so well worth it for my recovery just wish I could get another pair. Now I can finally get back to some light walking and not risk on reinjuring my foot. Thank you HOKA for making the best sneaker on the planet!!!

Relied on these for many years for work and anytime I'll be on my feet for long periods of time and the changes have ruined what was once a great shoe that highly recommended to everyone. Where 8D and the changes made them run half size too big, the toe box is way too big, the heel has no support and feels lower than rest of shoe and the footed does not feel as supportive as it used too. Had an awful foot injury many years ago that that took several surgeries to somewhat correct and Gaviotas were one of the only walking type shoes I could wear, believe me i tried several, that helped my feeg not hurt so bad at the emd of the day. Until you changed them. Please please change them back! These new changes not only make my feet hurt so bad but my knees too. Had to ...

Had to exchange the 8D for 7.5D and that took way longer than should have even by your own policy and would've taken even longer had I not called several times because I never received any communication regarding the exchange. Took a month after you guys got my shoes back to get the smaller size.

I have been wearing Hoka Bondi since 2015 when recommended by my podiatrist. I loved that shoe for cushioning on my bone-on-bone knee and walking long distances. But, the Bondi started proving too narrow for my feet and I got corns on both feet below and just outside my little toes on both feet (the Birkenstock Gyza probably had more to do with that). So I tried the Gaviota last November 2023 but found they just did not have the cushion the Bondi does even though more room in the toe box and an overall wider shoe. Now I have the Gaviota 5 and the added benefit of more cushion--the perfect match for me. I am 73, walk about 2 miles every day with my dog, go to personal training and exercise class 4 days a week, BUT I have bad knees and bad feet. I always take out the ...

I always take out the insole and replace with the Powerstep with added metatarsal support and I go up a size in that insole to take up a little more room in the Gaviota. For me, perfection!
You have remade this shoe since my last pair. I bought two pairs of the Gaviota 4 and love them. I was very disappointed to learn you had completely remade the shoe when I tried to order more. I normally wear a wide, but because of all of the comments, I decided to get a "B" with, it's a good thing I did because I could never have worn these in a wide. I love the extra cushion in the footbed and around the heel but I hate the way they look on my feet. Though I normally have to buy a wide shoe, I have a narrow heel, these have enough padding in the heel they don't slip when I'm walking up a hill or stairs. The left shoe has a pucker in the toe for some reason, I'm thinking the material wasn't put on quite right because the right shoe does not do that and maybe I ...

The left shoe has a pucker in the toe for some reason, I'm thinking the material wasn't put on quite right because the right shoe does not do that and maybe I should have gone down a half size with this particular shoe because my big toes seem to press against the side of the shoe after I've been wearing them for a while. I really don't understand why you removed the reflective emblem from the back of the show. Reflective shoes are very nice when walking in the dark.
I bought these shoes (along with 3 other shoes) in a size 9. The arch of the shoe was oddly placed and dug into my foot in a very painful way. I typically wear an 8.5 regular. The 9.5 was definitely a better fit, and much more comfortable. it gave my toes the wiggle room they needed The stability is great I felt that my foot was supported and had great grip on the floor, However, the frame of the shoe was digging into the arch of my foot. I decided to find a store that sold Hoka brand and try them in-store to see if the other sizes or regular/wide would be better. I tried 9 pairs of shoes from this brand and they all did the same thing. I started to think I was going crazy and maybe my feet were just weird.

I recommend if you want to buy this brand that you find a store and try it on and save yourself the hassle of paying hundreds+ of dollars and having to return it. Like I did and play a game of ordering more and returning them. I would not recommend this shoe if you have not tried it before. After trying to see if this was just a few people's issues I have found multiple complaints and Readit threads about this issue.
ON TRAC DECIDED THROWING A BOX AT MY DOOR AND TAKING OFF WAS A GOOD WAY TO DELIVER MY ITEMS. COULDN'T EVEN BE BOTHERED TO RING THE BELL.

I LIVE IN A MAJOR CITY, WHEN YOU LEAVE A PACKAGE OUTSIDE IT IS STOLEN, IMMEDIATELY. ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS RING THE BUZZER AND I WOULD LET THEM IN, LIKE I DO WITH EVERY DELIVERY.

This new version of the Gaviota is awful. I had the previous version and loved the support and fit, however, the material ripped (in under a year) and I needed a replacement. By this time, the version of the Gaviota I had was no longer available and I had to choose the new version. The new Gaviota looks very similar to the Bondi. I love the look of the Bondi but it did not support my feet properly. It seems like they took the Bondi and changed the name to Gaviota without adding the support elements needed. The Gaviota is no longer supportive, as it once was, and doesn't have the firm piece of materiel on the inside of the arch (to prevent collapse) as the previous version had. I now have a collapsed arch after wearing these shoes daily for the last two months. I am ... MoreThis new version of the Gaviota is awful.

Going through the warranty return was a huge hassle, and customer service was terrible, but I am going to try to get some help. BEWARE if you liked the previous Gaviota version!
I don't write reviews but felt I must for these shoes. Truly the best running shoes I have ever purchased. I run 4-5 miles a day and wa experiencing some knee pain. Decided to purchase a new pair of running shoes. Rather than purchasing a cheap pair, I discussed with my daughters who encouraged me to spend a little more and boy, were they right!! I easily ran over 5 miles my first time with no pain and , time allowing could have gone farther! Complete comfort from the very first run, I wil be ordering another pair as my future goal is a half marathon,, and thank you hoka for a product that truly delivers what they promise!!

The Gaviota 5's are my 3rd pair of Hoka's - Clifton, Bondi's and these and I love them all for different reasons. I thought the Clifton's were my favorite but after wearing the Gaviota 5's for a month or so I decided these were my favorites. I was told they have an H frame to make your walking more stable and you can feel it supporting you. They have the wide toe box so your toes have room to wiggle and they do feel cushy. I have an Achilles tendon issue and tight calf muscles on my left leg and foot but these do seem to help a bit and usually about a 1/4 of the way into our walks it doesn't bother me. I was hoping that these shoes would stop the Achilles tendon from hurting all together but that was just wishful thinking. I don't think any shoe will make it go away ...

I was hoping that these shoes would stop the Achilles tendon from hurting all together but that was just wishful thinking. I don't think any shoe will make it go away but these Gaviota 5's sure come close. In the winter I wear tennies more often and for longer periods so I have high hopes for these staying comfortable while wearing them. My only complaint is just a little thing. I do wish Hoka would provide colorful laces to match or contrast with the shoe. The same color as the shoe is sooooo boring! I love colorful shoes and it's getting harder to find those colorful laces. Even if Hoka had them for sale separately it would be nice. but, again, that is just me and has nothing to do with the quality of the shoe. Oh, and the Hoka representatives are fantastic. They seem to be trained well in their shoes and have really helped me pick out what I need. they take their time with you as well. Kudos to Hoka and their representatives!
